When Getting Better Feels Like 'Selling Out' After Narcissistic Abuse

In today's video, I address the impact of a narcissistic parent who masks their abusive treatment as something that is for the child's own good. For example, yelling at the child for not having proper table manners at dinner. This sets the survivor up to later resent doing things that are otherwise good to do. They can feel like they are betraying themselves. Recovery eventually allows the survivor to see how they were betrayed in what the parent did to them not what they are doing to themselves. I will use an extended case example to illustrate.
